Konstanz is a city at the Lake Constance in South Germany at the Swiss border.

To get to any city in Switzerland go to the main border and hold up your sign at the parking lot on the Swiss side. Just a couple of meters behind it the highway A7 starts.

Many cars go to the next petrol station from there, for petrol is much cheaper in Switzerland than in Germany.


If you want to go to Ravensburg it is best to take the ferry to Meersburg (last stop of Bus No 1). It usually goes 4 times an hour, at night just once every hour. Ask the people who drive there eighter while waiting for the ferry or in the little café on the ship. If it is cold or raining you can wait in a heated waiting room until the ferry arrives.

Going west on the 33 towards the Autobahn Stuttgart - Singen, there is no really good place to stop. The first service area is Rasthof Engen.
